Can I delete the uninstall files after a mega-update in 2000Pro?HI: I just did an update on an OLD laptop running 2000Pro (79 updates
installed) and I need to know if I can delete the blue uninstall files in C:\WINDOWS? I only have a 4 gig HD and these files take up about 400MB of that! Also if I do delete them, will they disappear from the add/remove programs list? I'm pretty sure I dont want to go thru and uninstall them all from add/remove programs...I'm amazed they all installed in the first place! and this dinosaur seems to be running fine after the updates...Help! Thanks Hello MadCowMoo,
If everything is working as expected and you are sure that you don't have to uninstall a patch, yes. Or burn them to disk and if you have to uninstall one you can copy it back. The only folder you should keep is the $hfmig$.
